DEMOCRATS: And Then There Were Eight

Only half of them were up for election, and most of those had no contest,
but for all eight of the front-running undeclared Democratic candidates for
President the 1958 election campaign had big meaning:

California's Pat Brown. By winning by 1,012,000 votes over Bill
Knowland, Brown becomes a full-fledged presidential possibility,
although he is reportedly happy at thoughts of becoming Vice President.
Brown's problem: keeping a wary eye on National Committeeman Paul
Ziffren and Senator-elect Clair Engle, both longtime supporters of
Adlai Stevenson.
